good point..........the bottom line is that they won even though they didn't play particularly well............the W still counts, and UConn can show Villanova what they missed the next time they meet in a few weeks......
Sauna and hot tub sounds great; unfortunately, a soaking in the ice tub is much more likely
The logistics of transporting and setting up the Sauna and Hot Tub on court for the Providence game would be daunting. Plus I think Lou would be about the only Husky who could hit threes from a hot tub.
Don't underestimate the quality of the Villanova team, and its coaching. They are a good team and played good defense.
It was more FOULfense than defense that Nova played, the refs just didn't call them.
Denise Dillon is a very good head coach. She is very good at defense and she had
yes, they are and they did but a refreshed UConn team (if that's possible) not following a huge national tv matchup will be far more prepared to take on Villanova a second time...........I believe they played each other for the second time in the Big East tournament last year after losing the first game to Villanova..............UConn won 70-40........
I think it was more an extreme value; the next game should be the regression back to Connecticut's usual very high mean.
They had 18 fouls called on 7 players, while UConn had 12 fouls called on 5 players. We went 18-21, while they went 10-11. So they may have missed a few calls on them, but we did end up on the plus side at the line. I think they mugged Lou quite often, and got away with a few too. Our exhausted team could not get their flow going, partly the low energy and partly Nova's plan to defend us.
All true. But South Carolina looms.
Hopefully, that last game was an anomaly............I expect better play tonight against a decent but overmatched Providence team........this is the prep game for South Carolina so I expect them to play with a lot more precision through three quarters and then let the bench get some floor time.....
Nope
Disappointing for sure but I guess this team is running on fumes right now...........certainly doesn't bode well for the South Carolina game which would have been difficult if Azzi and Caroline were playing..........this team seems to rise to the occasion against better competition when rested and healthy but I'm already writing off the results of the South Carolina game hoping UConn will have a decent showing without any further injuries and instead focusing on the rest of the regular season........
I said it during the chat. This team is wiped out and running on fumes. The game Sunday against SC was set up as a great match before all the injuries. Doesn't really mean a whole lot though, either way. Bragging rights maybe, but with all of UConn's injuries, not sure how much SC could brag.
that's why I'm a bit confused why some here get insulted when UConn isn't rated the number two team in the country in the rankings......could you see this team defeating Stanford right now? I don't think so.......
